Tim this horse had a worse trip than the Titanic last out but will be overbet because of it. You have to see that trip to truly appreciate the nightmarish aspects of it. The horse was in serious trouble and being strangled, steadied, and blocked, and altering course for the entire journey. It was incredible.

I often wonder how the jockeys view the game overall. I haven't had the experience of being around them too much.

Good Lord these guys have been on the back of a horse so many times. Dont equate memory, or lack thereof, with intellect. They are different things. Guys like Bailey, who remember every ride, are few and far between. Just as long as they understand what they need to do on the horse they are on at that moment in time Im ok.

IN any event. I think I would remember if I had been up in a Breeder's Cup race. Truthfully, the jocks I have had discussions with have not had much in the way of school and are usually from poor backgrounds. They usually dont keep up with world affairs and discuss the significant overlap between musical harmonics and math.
